How can churches respond to the tragedy of suicide?

Can we be more effective in suicide prevention?

VOX magazine is hosting a series of one-day conferences around Ireland to inform and equip churches and Christians (of all denominations and backgrounds) as they seek to respond to suicide and engage in suicide prevention.

Join us to explore these vital issues with top speakers from the area of mental health and suicide prevention.
